This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

In addition to "Anecdotes of Yueyou", Beichuan Temple also found a shabby ancient map on the bookshelf.

The temple in front of the mountain, the music altar in the mountain, and the sacrifice behind the mountain.

The dusty map clearly demarcates the three areas.

Among them, several buildings such as the Coin Hall, Sanden Hall, Main Hall, and Jingshrine Hall of the Piedmont Shrine are connected and arranged horizontally similar to the mountain gate of a shrine.

In the mountain music scene, it is divided into buildings such as the Kagura Stage, the Dance Hall, and the Ritual Music Hall.

This area is mainly circular.

But...

Kitagawaji raised his eyebrows and gently tapped the center of the mountain music scene with his fingers.

There is also an obvious circular area in the center of the mountain music scene.

This area has no name marked on the map. Just looking at this map, I don't know what the purpose of leaving this circular area is.

Beichuanji shook his head and turned his attention to the altar behind the mountain.

This time there is nothing missing.

The places Beichuan Temple just walked through are basically marked.

Wooden Cage Prison, Wu's Corridor, Yueyou Sacrifice Hall, Wedding and Ceremony Side Hall, Yueyou Long Bridge, and the Resting Room...

Beichuanji's eyes jumped over these places and looked at the areas that he had not yet visited.

If you continue walking forward from the fetal center, you will come across a junction.

The left side of the intersection leads to the second Yueyou Sacrifice Hall.

Just by looking at the name, one can understand that this Yueyou Sacrifice Hall should be a place for worshiping and enshrining another volume of Yueyou's document.

Of course you won’t miss this place, Beichuan Temple.

On the other side of the dividing road is a small side house.

There is no name on this room, and it gives off a mysterious atmosphere at first glance.

Continuing forward at the intersection, you will see a building called Shuo Shi Tang.

At this point, the exploration of the sacrificial area at the back of the mountain is complete. If you want to leave, you can pass the hidden wooden path you just saw in the Abortion Room and go to the temple area in front of the mountain to join Master Haneda and Master Onodera.

With an expressionless expression, Beichuan Temple rolled up the map and put it in another water bag in his backpack. He continued walking inside as soon as his feet moved.

As Beichuan Temple advances inward, the original corridor gradually widens, and the corridor turns into a deep wooden corridor leading to the front.

Compared to the miserable conditions in the areas between Anteibian and Changqiao, this area looked much better.

Although the air is still filled with the smell of corpses and unpleasant smell, from the perspective of Beichuan Temple, there are actually not that many corpses lying on the ground along the way.

He continued to move forward, and encountered some ordinary wraiths during the process.

But in front of Beichuan Temple now, dealing with these resentful spirits is nothing at all.

After expelling all the evil spirits of these witches and priests, Beichuan Temple came to the fork in the road described on the map.

On the left is the Yueyou Ceremony Hall, which contains the next content of Yueyou's document that Beichuanji wants to see.

Beichuan Temple naturally wanted to go to Yueyou Ceremony Hall to see the situation first, but...

He looked to his right as if aware of something.

To his right, a woman in white kimono with a sad face and sighing softly was turning to the small room on the right.

She has long black hair, a crescent moon headdress on her head, and a beautiful face.

That illusory figure is the embodiment of the afterimage.

At the same time, her voice full of sorrow was left in the air: "Wenzhi... Wenzhi... when can I see you again?"

The figure gradually blurred and then disappeared.

"Bunji...?" Beichuan Temple blinked.

Could it be that the figure just now was the Sifang Wangyue that the Sifang Cultural Office had been thinking about?

In other words, the room in the corridor on the right is related to the moon in all directions?

Beichuan Temple suppressed the idea of ​​going to the Yueyou Ceremony Hall on the left, and instead walked towards the small room on the right.

What stood in front of Beichuan Temple was a wooden door that had been corroded to the point where black water seeped out from the surface. There was a small window at the top of the wooden door.

"This is...?" Beichuan Temple walked over step by step, a black air flashed in his black eyes.

There is no trace of resentment on the wooden door, it looks like an ordinary wooden door.

Beichuanji walked forward without hesitation, reached out and pushed the wooden door tentatively.

Can't push it at all.

The wooden door seemed to be physically locked from the inside.

Seeing this situation, Beichuan Temple raised his hand and moved his eyes towards the top small window.

The scenery in the room also came into Beichuanji's sight.

Rather than saying that this is an artificially constructed wooden room... it is better to say that this room is completely a naturally formed cave.

Above is a floating wooden path, and below it is the freezing cold water of Yueyou Lake.

The deep cave exhales the cold wind.

The internal space here is not as small as depicted on the map, but is surprisingly large.

Even the bottom of some dark caves such as Beichuan Temple cannot be seen.

The farthest end of the wooden path is connected to a wooden platform. On the wooden platform, you can clearly see women's daily necessities such as quilts, bronze mirrors, wooden combs, and wooden cabinets.

Here...perhaps this is where Si Fang Wang Yue lives.

But why did the Sifang family let Sifang Wangyue live here?

Isn't she the Moon Miko?

The doubts in his heart became more and more serious, and Beichuan Temple also raised his foot and kicked the wooden door hard.

Bang!

Bang!

With just two kicks, Beichuan Temple kicked the wooden door to the ground.

As soon as the wooden door was kicked down, a chill hit the floor.

I don’t know how Sifang Wangyue survived in such an environment.

In a damp, cold place like this, it's okay to just sleep for a day or two, but if you stay here for a long time... it's definitely impossible.

Unless Sifang Wangyue itself has some extraordinary abilities.

Kitagawaji stepped onto the wooden path floating on the water.

The crunching, unstable sound made people somewhat uneasy.

Coupled with the deep lake at your feet...

Beichuan Temple shook his head and groped forward step by step.

"There are indeed people living here."

Beichuan Temple looked at the furniture placed on the platform in front of him and murmured to himself.

Let's start investigating... Hopefully there will be something here that Kitagawaji wants.

Beichuanji just glanced at the wooden comb, bronze mirror and other things, and left them aside after finding nothing unusual.

Most of the items inside the dressing table were simple wooden jewelry, and there were no hidden records as Beichuanji imagined.

The small wooden cabinet next to it contains some women's kimonos. This part of the kimono has become moldy and smelly due to being in this humid environment for a long time.

Just looking at it this way, these are just things that simple women use every day.

The hidden records he imagined did not appear to exist.

But Beichuanji is not an impatient person.

He rummaged around and groped at the dresser.

Finally, he found a small wooden box in a small hidden compartment of the dressing table.

This wooden box is a small box with a length, width and height of less than ten centimeters. Its surface is engraved with fine curse seals, and the opening and closing parts are firmly locked by a lock with a light yellow full moon pattern.

Beichuanji lifted it up, and then heard the cold notification sound of the system in his ears.

Ding! The system prompts that you have found a new weird 'Moon Key Box'.

'Moon Key Box: This is a secret box sealed with a special spell. Over the years, the effectiveness of its spell has not been weakened, but has been enhanced. There seems to be no way to open it other than finding the key. ’

There's no way to open it other than finding the key...?

Kitagawaji glanced at the system explanation and couldn't help but frown.

Although his current time is not urgent, if he insists on having plenty of time... it is not that generous.

In addition, it is not easy to find the key to the moon key box in the Sifang Shrine...

Beichuan Temple groaned.

Then he heard the voice of the god Maki behind him.

It seems that because Kitagawaji promised to buy her a switch, Kamizumi Maki couldn't wait to show off her abilities:

"I can sense the effect of the spell lingering on this small box, and it is impossible to open it by force. However, Yongshi and I can sense the same spell, and we should be able to find the key to the box through that."

Kitagawaji didn't speak, but looked back at Asamiya Eisei.

This time, Asamiya never disagreed with her sister. She closed her eyes for a while and then replied: "Sister is right."

"Really? I understand." Beichuanji nodded as if he understood completely, and then——

Bang! ! !

Bang! ! !

Bang! ! !

Under the dull gazes of Asamiya Nagase and Kami Makie, Kitagawaji took out the death-energy sledgehammer from the air and hit the surface of the small box in front of him hard.

That open and closed look made the god in charge, Makie, open his mouth wide.

She stammered: "Beichuan, it's impossible...it's impossible for you to open the box like this! I told you that you need a key!"

Under her words, Beichuanji's calm voice also came over:

"Yeah. I understand."

Then--

Bang! Bang! Bang!

You know what a ghost you are!

Kamizaki Maki looked at Kitagawaji's unmoved figure who continued to swing the sledgehammer, with the corner of his mouth twitching.

She shook her head inwardly.

After all, it is impossible for Beichuan Temple to open the moon key box with such a tough method. The spell on it is very strong and can only be opened with a key.

Just when Kamizaki Maki opened his mouth to persuade Kitagawaji not to waste his efforts——

Beichuan Temple suddenly stopped.

The god in Maki's heart moved.

It turns out that Beichuan Temple is also a knowledgeable person. After trying it, he found that he could not open it with brute force and finally gave up.

She thought Beichuan Temple was a reckless man.

While she was thinking this.

Kitagawaji took out something shiny from the bottom of his sleeve.

It is Kanesada.

puff--

Kamizaki Maki squirted out. She looked at Kitagawaji who was aiming Kanesada at the lock, and couldn't help but said: "Give up, Kitagawa, let's just go find the key honestly-"

The silver light falls!

A crisp sound also sounded.

Then--

"It's open." Beichuanji said without looking back.

After hearing this, Kamizaki Maki couldn't bear it any longer. Her eyes widened and she screamed in disbelief:

"opened?!"

"Um."

Kitagawa Temple turned around and showed the moon key box in his hand to the god Makie.

The wooden box, which was originally intact and filled with spells and seals, was now riddled with scars.

Hammer marks remain clearly visible on the surface.

The full moon lock has also been broken into two halves and fell to the ground.

"I tried using Kanesada, and the effect was pretty good." Kitagawaji said without any change in his voice.

"Uh..." Kamizaki Maki opened his mouth.

Originally, she thought that the next step would be to rely on her own abilities to find the key... but she never expected that Beichuan Temple would take a shortcut.

Exploration and decryption... Beichuanji didn't even give a shit.

Seemingly seeing what the god in Maki was thinking, Kitagawa Temple raised his gaze and explained: "Time is tight, and the area of ​​​​Sifang Shrine is not small. There is not so much time for us to explore. In addition, Yue The key to the key box was lost a long time ago, and may have even sunk into Yueyue Lake. It is not reliable to spend time looking for such a small object."

"...Same." Kamizaki Maki nodded understandingly.

It's understandable...

But the physical curse-breaking method of Beichuan Temple...

Maki, the god, coughed twice.

In the past, this kind of curse seal required the corresponding medium to be released, but Beichuan did not take the usual path at all...

"Stop talking nonsense." Beichuan Temple stretched out his hand to hold the edge of the moon key box.

He was also a little curious in his heart.

What exactly is hidden in the moon key box placed in Sifang Wangyue's room?

Especially with such a powerful spell cast on it.

Could it be that the moonglass we are looking for is inside this wooden box?

Under the watchful eyes of all the benevolent spirits of Asamong Eternal Life, he completely opened the moon key box.

What was placed inside the moon key box was not the moon telescope as Kitagawaji had imagined.

It's not even a spiritual tool.

The thing contained in it...is a notepad.

Under the preservation of the moon key box, this notebook is intact, as if it has not passed through the long years at all.

Beichuan Temple touched his chin, but there was not much disappointment in his eyes.

After all, the Moon Observing Mirror is an inherited spiritual tool of the Sifang family, and there is no way it can be left carelessly in such a place.

Moreover, Shifang Kaguya has already said before that the moon telescope is also a spiritual tool for absorbing the moonlight.

In such a cave where there is no moonlight, it is indeed impossible to achieve the effect of warming the moon telescope.

Beichuanji stretched out his hand and took out the notepad.

Under the light of the flashlight, the name of the person in the lower right corner can be clearly seen.

This is exactly the notepad of Si Fang Wang Yue.

Beichuanji put it on the table and opened it——

The handwriting on it is beautiful and fine.

‘Today I officially moved into the Lunar Eclipse Cave. According to the owner of the family, since this place is located in the center of Yueyou Spring, it is close to the Yellow Spring. Because I'm close to the underworld, I can see the dead, and I can also know the experience of the Sifang family's former Moon Miko... But the head of the family obviously didn't tell me something... His expression was a little unnatural. ’

‘If there is another chance, I really want to see you again, Wenzhi. ’

‘How are you doing now? The moon magatama you gave me...the half of your soul you left for me, I will treasure it close to my heart forever. ’

‘My heart only belongs to you, and I wish you all the best. ’
